But the administrative planning for the Final Solution was finalized at the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942 in Wannsee, a Berlin suburb. Here all the details of the Final Solution were worked out. The meeting was convened by Reinhard Heydrich, who was the head of the S.S. main office and S.S. Chief Heinrich Himmler's top aide. The purpose of the meeting was to coordinate the Nazi bureaucracy required to carry out the Final Solution. This constituted:

Mom threw me out til I get some pants that fit
She just don't approve of my strange kind of wit
I get so excited I always gotta lose it,
then they pack me off & make me take the cure
But I don't need a cure,
don't need a cure
don't need a cure,
need a final solution

Final Solution is considered to be one of post-punk band Pere Ubu's finest songs. It was their second single, and proved to be a massive success, helping propel them to a recording contract. The song itself dates back to the precursor of Pere Ubu, Rocket From The Tombs. When the members of Rocket From The Tombs split into the artistic Pere Ubu, and the punkThe Dead Boys, Ubu took the songs Final Solution, Life Stinks, and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo. It ended up on the set list when Rocket From The Tombs reunited in 2003.

Of course, outside of the cities, in depressed suburbs, teenagers living with their folks were unaware of what was brewing in town. Either through their own ignorance, or parental disapproval, there was a rift between the youth of the suburbs and the cities. When someone in the suburbs was turned on to the growing scene, it was liable to distance them from not only their parents, but their peers as well. The lyrics of Final Solution deal with the narrator's reactions to his peers, his parents, and the world at large.

Because he's weird, the girls aren't interested. He stays out at night, and is pale. He doesn't understand the reaction, either. He just wants to have a little bit of fun! Even worse, is the reaction of his parents. He's thrown out for flaunting the fashion of the punk scene. They try and pack him off to military school to make him conform to society's demands. The lyrics draw a parallel between parental disapproval and Hitler's Final Solution to deal with the Jews. Just taking care of one punk isn't enough. They had to destroy the society.

In the end, our narrator sneaks to a concert, and escapes the drudgery of suburban life. He is among his own kind, in another world. This is his own final solution. It is a story in which any teenager who has felt ostracized for being in a subculture can relate to. Be they a geek or a goth or a punk, Final Solution is a timeless classic that will always speak to the disaffected.
